Abstract

"Today's global politics demands a new look at the concept of territory. From so-called deterritorialized terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda to U.S.-led overthrows of existing regimes in the Middle East, the relationship between territory and sovereignty is under siege. Unfolding an updated understanding of the concept of territory, Stuart Elden shows how the contemporary "war on terror" is part of a widespread challenge to the connection between the state and its territory." "Although the importance of territory has been disputed under globalization, territorial relations have not come to an abrupt end. Rather, Elden argues, the territory/sovereignty relation is being reconfigured. Traditional geopolitical analysis is transformed into a critical device for interrogating hegemonic geopolitics after the Cold War, and is employed in the service of reconsidering discourses of danger that include "failed states," disconnection, and terrorist networks." "Looking anew at the "war on terror"; the development and application of U.S. policy; the construction and demonization of rogue states; events in Lebanon, Somalia, and Pakistan; and the wars continuing in Afghanistan and Iraq, Terror and Territory demonstrates how a critical geographical analysis, informed by political theory and history, can offer an urgently needed perspective on world events."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

Les rapports entre identité et territoire occupent aujourd'hui une place centrale, de nature à susciter débat. L'usage de chacun des deux termes explique en partie un tel intérêt. C'est aussi le contexte contemporain qui appelle réflexion : mobilité, gouvernement des villes, recompositions territoriales… Migrations et frontières, rôles respectifs de l'espace et de l'organisation sociale, rôle du politique dans la construction d'un « nous », opposition mobilité/sédentarité, multiplicité des appartenances, rapport à l'espace habité et au patrimoine : la confusion entre des acceptions savantes et pratiques des termes, la hiérarchisation des espaces allant du local au national, interrogent dès lors l'usage qui en est fait. Le territoire a souvent une « double face », les référents identitaires mobilisés par ses habitants sont divers, cachés ou exposés, soumis à ajustements perpétuels. L'identification par le lieu repose question. En contexte de mobilité ou de perte du territoire, quelle pertinence accorder au sentiment d'appartenance à un espace ? Comment interpréter la localisation « comme métaphore de l'Autre » ? Si « l'ennemi, c'est le proche », alors le territoire dévoile sa nature polémique. Contributions de G. Baudin, Ph. Bonnin ; M.-H. Bacqué & S. Vermeersch, T. Baudouin, S. Bobbé, G. Busquet, M. Dumont, M.-C. Fourny, Ph. Genestier, A. Hublin, C. Le Bodic. V. Maire, C. Neveu, M. Perrot, L. Pierre Louis, M.

Abstract

If personal and national identity is often constructed in terms of place, how do our identities and values change as places themselves are transformed? What happens to the spaces in which we live as societal values and identities change? These questions can be asked of almost any discipline, whether one is taking a photograph or mapping a literary topography, tracing linguistic change in a geographic region or language's importance to our conception of a political territory, building a house ...
